Guest room for rent! Okay, not really, but who doesn't love this framed vintage sign? The typography of it caught my eye a few weeks back at the Elko Trader's Market.

Are you totally diggin' that phone number? Definitely before cell phones! I thought the sign would be the perfect whimsical welcome to friends and family who will be staying in our guest room.

I used some removable adhesive strips to attach the frame to the door. That way I don't damage the frame or the door. They are my new favorite thing for hanging artwork!

The other items that you see? Also bargains and thrift finds!
- Bergere chair with tulip upholstery: garage sale
- PB linen pillow with seashells: either store clearance or ebay
- French striped linen neck pillow: flea market
- Industrial fan blade: Second Hand Rose occasional sale
- Tulip canvas painting: Goodwill
Have I told you how much I love junking, thrifting, antiquing, flea marketing, garage sale-ing? Oh, I have? Okay, just making sure.

ReplyDeleteI as well love your your sign! What a find, and a wonderful throwback to a time before.
ReplyDeleteoh drat...when i saw that sign i was really hoping to rent your guest room! who wouldn't want to stay at your house?! what if i said, "pretty please"?

Great sign! I need one since our home will probably REALLY be for rent soon.
ReplyDeleteThe entire room is so welcoming. And, I love those adhesive strips, too.
Super cute idea. Maybe if I put one on the future nursery, it will give me some luck?

Love the color on it! Isn't it funny how the phone numbers where so short?? Weird...
ReplyDeleteI use those hooks all the time, those and 'monkey' hooks (or hurcules hooks) which only leave a tiny hole to spakle- and they hold so much weight!

The sign is good, (I remember when phone numbers started with letters) but the artwork from GW - magnificent!
ReplyDeleteOh, I just love that sign! You found a perfect place for it.
ReplyDeleteI love that sign, and the way you're using it for a guest bedroom. The charm, quality, and craftsmanship of old signage never fails to grab me.
ReplyDeleteFun Amy! Looks like you had fun thrifting!
ReplyDeleteGreat place for that sign! Must bring a smile to the face of your guests.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am digging those removable adhesives too, works well with my 'don't drill holes in my walls' guy.
LOVE the sign...I helped set up an estate sale that is opening on Friday...and it was full of old signs like this. Here's hoping I can scoop them all up as soon as they open! ;o)
